An Omega molecule, also called the Omega particle and Particle 010, was a highly unstable and short lived molecule that was known to exist within the universe. The sheer power of the particle meant that a single stable molecule was capable of generating the same power output as a warp core. Furthermore, it was believed that up to 200 million molecules were sufficient to devastate an entire quadrant within a galaxy. It was believed that if it could be artificially recreated then it would be a powerful substance that was capable of powering an entire civilization.
